Sail(or Moon) Away

______Guys, I really have no idea what to talk about. No lightbulbs are flickering in my head right now. I am flickering lightbulb-less.

______I'm definitely doing stuff and things this summer, but those stuff and things are nothing earth-shattering. I've been absorbing delectable books with my mind, soaking them up like Shania Twain does the sun, painting a bit, and biking in the putrid morning air. I've got an awful biker's tan starting: basically, my shoulders and arms have been gaining a meager amount of color, but then from my neck to mid-thigh has remained pale as softened eggshells. Dee-lish-ous. I've gotta acquire a swimsuit and fill that out before I've got ten different tan lines going on and resemble a sepia barcode more than a human.

______However, I did find some snazzy little bug guys yesterday. These little beetles were perched elegantly on the half-gnawed on leaves behind me. I'll casually note that some of them were fornicating on the undersides of bouncing leaves; how they managed to balance upside down, on top of each other, and all while eagerly performing the fricky-frack act remains a mystery to me. But enough of this naughty bug mating talk. Most of them were just crawlin' about like strong, independent bugs who don't need no mate.

Hhahaha, bugs sex, now I've seen it all, lol! :D Ah yes, the good old "nothing interesting happening in my life" period.I'm having it right now :DLove this outfit, it's quite pretty and you're such a doll! Oh yes, tan lines suck!!!

We all need those 'nothing extraordinary is happening' times...though I must say those are some extraordinary photos...really outstanding photography! I didn't know about this talent of yours!

However, I did know about the adorable way you put things...and I don't think anyone could have written those bug paragraphs better than you did...or funnier! It did made me laugh (thanks for that btw, laughs are something one can always use)

The outfit I do really like...the way you combine socks and shoes is so stylish and unique...and every outfit feels some much like ...you!

Your socks and earrings are so cute. I don't have any socks like that. I have knee highs--which require all out commitment to allowing them to be the star of the outfit...and I have plain old black ankle socks meant to serve their purpose and be hidden. Yours are a nice balance between the two.

you know, when I started reading your post, I really didn't know I'd get to see bugs doing it at the end. Ha! Love these Christmas Beetle type bugs too, I always wanna wear them as shiny brooches but they won't stay still. loving your sailor top too.x

Hey don't judge, maybe a little voyeurism is what it takes to save their tanking marriage. That, and they find it super kinky to have a human watching :P At first I thought this post was going to be about Sailor Moon (reboot is coming out in a few days gahhh) and I was going to say I could totally see you as a fellow sailor scout, champion of the bugs or something.

Bahaha, oh man, bug sex eh? That's some kinky stuff. They're quite...well, flexible to pull off hanging upside down, on top, and still going at it.Anyway, this is a weird topic...lolOn a simpler note, you look super cute and adorable :D I always love how you incorporate socks into your outfits. I've never thought about socks as accessories, but that's what they are in your looks <3And I know, if we lived close by...sigh, oh imagine the brunches and chats we could have! I just know we'd hit it off too Ali :)One day....one day. When I go on my roadtrip across the US, Alabama is definitely on the list! Just for you :P Haha!Hehe, and yes, star gazing in illegal locations... ;)

Ahhhh, I'm totally not a bug person (a reason why I love my cold country even more), but these pictures are awesome! The colours of the bugs are super cool. And you look uber adorbs in your sailor moon-esque ensemble!

I love your outfit and everything sailor inspired. I have a dress which I wore to work awhile back and it has acquired the name of sailor moon dress. I never thought I'd say this but that bag is really pretty and I adore the metallic look.

Hi Ali, this is sailor chic at its best, love this adorable nautical outfit, you pull it off with flair, the earrings are very pretty. No tans for us here for a while, its been 10 degrees daytime temperature and getting colder. Have a great start to the week hun!

haha ive been feeling the same way! i'm doing stuff but i just dunno what to write on the blog- which makes me think, am i EVEN doing stuff? god. who knows. all that matters is you look cute, which i expected. ;)

and i'm TOTALLY staying productive, though I feel like ive been losing steam a bit. motivate me!! the siren song of netflix is starting to pull me in, ahhh

Aliii! First off, I want to say that I totally understand. We all go through phases where there seems to be nothing to write about. But with your writing talent you make saying anything so quirky and elegant--even this! Anyways, this look is so well-balanced and elegant. The punny post title is a plus too, haha. Also, your macro photography of the beetles is so sharp and on point! Stunning!

My favorite post would have to be the outfit with the biking story--Northern Lights sounds like an interesting character haha. The way you weave a narrative from an everyday event is amazing. Can't wait to be updated on any more run-ins. As for the tanlines you mentioned, I know those well from running haha.

Your artwork was also quite stunning and ethereal. I half reminded me of a scientific sketch and half reminded me of something other-wordly. I love how your art is always so interpretive. As for that unpleasant fellow who was impersonating you, good for you tell it as it is! I'm so glad that's all resolved now.

Have a beautiful week--enjoy all the relaxation and spontaneity that summer has to offer!

THE DWEEB BEHIND IT ALL

Hi there! My name is Ali, I'm 24, and I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that one day I'll confidently call myself an artist. I'm absolutely passionate about art, biking, and people-watching like a total creeper.
